That would be a pretty strange 4-pack.... Because the Iron Shiek and Colonel Mustafa were the same person! You'd have a repaint in the same package..... THANK YOU. Someone said it. I can't believe I had to get to Page 2 before seeing someone say it.

Horsemen didnt stand a chance. 4 boring attires, only accessory is a vest, never liked arn or windham, HATE flair and dont even know who tully is. Have to assume 4 packs would follow this pattern. Dont care to have andre or perfect, would rather another cena than studd. Only care for heenan. Just lame. Oh well, cant win them all These packs are obviously not made for people like you. They're made for people like me, and there seem to be enough people like me who like the flashbacks or they wouldn't keep making more. Lol. That must be why my target is loaded with horsemen. Because they are doing so well that they keep ordering more. Seriously though, all i ever hear is we want x or y as a flashback, yet i can still go buy 15 jyd or tito, quake and ddp are plentiful, and ive seen more e37 malenko than miz. I dont think they are selling all th at well

Im gonna hope that was sarcasm, because believe it or not, im 29, and yes, the horsemen are and always were lame to me.

Mustafa=Sheik FYI & Adnon is not in HOF
NWO will most likely be next; Hall, Nash, Macho & Hennig or Dibiase
Could also see a sort of just general packs like WCW or ECW etc

You may be 29, but apparently you are not educated enough on classic wrestling to know what the hell you are saying. The 4 Horsemen were the greatest faction of all time. Damn!...
I am 39 and weep for current wrestling fans. I have seen every great moment in pro wrestling and take pity on everyone who thinks pro wrestling didn't start until John Cena came on the scene.
I will admit that the Attitude Era is my favorite time period of professional wrestling, but NOTHING can take the place of wrestling in the 80s when you could see EVERY ONE of your favorite superstars LIVE for $5 at your local junior high / high school instead of $50 to $100 a pop at some emotionless arena!
I saw Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Arn and Ole Anderson, Dusty Rhodes, Magnum TA, the Midnight Express, Rock n Roll Express, Roddy Piper, Ricky Steamboat... almost EVERY legend you can name at my local junior high school... I have gotten up close and personal with EVERY legend you can name in a gymnasium that sat, maybe , 500 people!
I was around for the greatest moments in wrestling history... and believe me when I say it... There will NEVER be another pro wrestling faction that can lace the Horsemen's boots!
I can guarantee that your mom wanted to ride Space Mountain!... lol

Ideally, ideally though? I would like to see Kama (or Godfather in black), D-Lo, Mark Henry, and Owen.
Or Sting, Luger, Macho, and Konnan in the red and black.
Or Scott Steiner, Buff Bagwell, Syxx, and Eric Bischoff in the black and white.
These HOF 4-packs are the perfect way to get stables into our hands. Or possibly a way to get a bunch of midcarders into our hands. Like a WCW pack or an Attitude Era pack. Although I'm sure a midcard 4-pack will shelfwarm pretty hard like the 4 Horsemen set. Awesome set with awesome figures, but they've been hanging out in my Target for way too long.

I dont think they are selling all th at well That's a fascinating story. There's one JYD at my local Wal-Mart the last time I looked. I saw DDP and Malenko one time, and I bought those. Earthquake is the only guy on your list where I've seen more than one on the peg at a time. Your argument that flashbacks don't sell well is so unconvincing given the fact that Mattel continues to make them - in fact, seemingly making more now than in years past. Then, there's Bill himself saying they were satisfied with how well the Horsemen set sold, and that if the Heenan Family set did as well, they would probably continue to make them. But, I suppose the fact that you have 15 Tito Santanas at your local Target and shelves loaded with Horsemen sets should be compelling enough reasoning to stop making these figures. I'll reiterate, these figures aren't made for you. That's why Mattel makes Cena and Miz - for guys like you. I have no interest in Cena and Miz, but you don't see me complaining about Mattel making what sells. Bottom line is that if flashbacks and flashback 4 packs stop selling, they'll stop making them. Regardless, you're still going to get your Cenas and your Miz, so there's no reason to act like a turd about flashbacks.

I'm in the UK so I have no idea how well these are selling, but I think if they want to boost the line they should drop the Hall of Fame tag and maybe use characters that are more recogniseable to the modern day fans
So maybe an Attitude Era set with Austin, The Rock, Triple H and Mankind. An Evolution set is a GREAT call. A Ruthless Aggression Era set with Cena, Orton, Edge and Batista. Things like that
Maybe they could alternate, one modern day set, one old school one

You can have your opinion, I'll have mine. They arent for me. Never gave a rats ass about any of them. We cant all like the same things. I dont get why this is so serious to some of you. What football team do you like, so i can like them too so i wont be drunk or dying...

I started watching wrestling in 1985. Wwf. I hated ric flair because I never saw him wrestle and people compared him to my hulk hogan. I loved hogan. I never saw the horsemen until they had Jarrett and mcmichael. So I don't care about the horsemen set much. I bought one but I don't care to ever own Tully or Barry.
I have to say though, Flair is now one of my all time favorites.
The Heenan family,.....I'll buy at least 2

Whoever said that about the flashbacks being extra plentiful this year is correct.
E32 - Rey is still plentiful E33 - Pac is still in stores, JYD - EVERYWHERE! E34 - Doink - at least my Wal Mart has 3 on the shelves as of last night E35 - Earthquake - at least every other Walgreens has Earthquake E36 - DDP - 9 out of 10 TRU have him E37 - Malenko - seen plenty but E37 isn't exactly flooding my area yet E38 - Macho won't warm, APA will surprise me if they DONT warm. Haven't personally seen any E38 at retail though
Not sure if Mattel made a whole lot more this year of them or what, but I don't remember the Outlaws, Rikishi, Vader, hanging around forever like these are. And besides Trish and Christian the others in white boxes definitely weren't rotting on shelves

I told you last time... I'm going to echo you on those rockers until they're made!!! But I like the idea of having classic Survivor Series teams as four packs.... Specifically this one: I would also love to see Dino bravo, earthquake, haku and barbarian And Warlord, rick Martel, Hercules and Paul Roma

Horsemen didnt stand a chance. 4 boring attires, only accessory is a vest, never liked arn or windham, HATE flair and dont even know who tully is. Have to assume 4 packs would follow this pattern. Dont care to have andre or perfect, would rather another cena than studd. Only care for heenan. Just lame. Oh well, cant win them all These packs are obviously not made for people like you. They're made for people like me, and there seem to be enough people like me who like the flashbacks or they wouldn't keep making more. Well said. You get enough Cenas. Let us have Studd!!! Lol

How figures sell at YOUR local stores means only ONE thing: that's how figures sell in your area. People constantly bicker about what sells and what doesn't based on their extremely limited data. Just because your Target can't clear something doesn't mean that all Targets all over America are struggling with the same problem.
You want to know if the Horsemen pack sells well? How about the fact we're getting a second 4-pack? (as some have pointed out)
As for the OP, I'd buy that as a three pack minus the Iron Sheik. I think a manager with his/her stable is a great idea if MATTEL thinks the Heenan pack sells well. We could go with Slick, Sherri, etc.
